Overview
Replace Actor lets you seamlessly swap the subject in an existing video with a new character—without rebuilding the video from scratch.
This feature is ideal for reusing winning creatives while adapting them to different audiences, markets, or branding needs.
What Is Replace Actor?
Replace Actor is a tool within Arcads that allows you to replace the main character in a video while preserving:
the original scene
camera movement
timing and pacing
overall visual structure
Script and voice
You simply provide a video template and an image of the new character, and Arcads handles the transformation.
